Probably expensive, but traverse Technologies offer ADSL modem/router boxes now with Gigabit ports. From memory, you could add a wireless card. I don't know how much RAM. The ADSL driver is in the mainline kernel.
Note that, while traverse solos works, it's internally a DSP and an FPGA. The driver talks to the FPGA, which then talks black magic (that you can't see) to the DSP. I'm not sure I'd buy one again, given the price difference. It's also a minor pain because you can't do a full power reset of the DSP without rebooting the router it's plugged into. The viking card (from traverse, I think) is just a conventional DSL modem, but in a PCI form factor. It presents to the OS as a NIC that's plugged into a separate logical DSL device, and you do the usual half-bridge and extra point-to-point static address tricks to configure it. I have no experience with traverse's complete device offerings (IIRC they're called "ALIX" or something). I assume they're just something like a soekris net5501 + one of their DSL cards, in a custom SFF case.
